Abstract
Objectives Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is a molecular marker of sperm chromatin health. Elevated SDF is associated with male infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and failure of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In 2021, the sixth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Manual for the Laboratory Examination and Processing of Human Semen has listed SDF as an extended test of semen that can be ordered under certain circumstances. However, the manual neither explained the indications for testing nor provided clear guidance on diagnostic thresholds.
期刊介绍：
The Arab Journal of Urology is a peer-reviewed journal that strives to provide a high standard of research and clinical material to the widest possible urological community worldwide. The journal encompasses all aspects of urology including: urological oncology, urological reconstructive surgery, urodynamics, female urology, pediatric urology, endourology, transplantation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary infections and inflammations. The journal provides reviews, original articles, editorials, surgical techniques, cases reports and correspondence. Urologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and scientists are invited to submit their contributions to make the Arab Journal of Urology a viable international forum for the practical, timely and state-of-the-art clinical urology and basic urological research.
